GOFFEE-R-OASTER.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE CHAUVIN, a citizenof the United States, residing at Union, in the parish of St. James andState of Louisiana, have invented new and useful Improvements inCoffee-Roasters, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improved coffee roaster, the object of theinvention being to provide an improved device of this kind by means ofwhich coifee or other material may be roasted, heated or cooked withoutcausing the odor thereof to be diffused through the room, theconstruction of the roaster being such as to cause the fumes from thecoffee to be drawn into the fire box of the stove and carried offthrough the smoke pipe and chimney, the invention consisting in theconstruction, combination and arrangement of devices hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a vertical central sectionalview of a coffee roaster constructed in accordance with my invention.Fig. 2 is partly a plan and partly a horizontal sectional View of thesame.

The body 1 of my improved coifee roaster is circular in form and isprovided at the center with a draft tube 2 which rises from the bottom 3and is open at its upper and lower ends. A suitable handle 4; is hereshown attached to one side of the body.

The cover 5 of the coffee roaster is arranged to be placed on the top ofthe body and is of substantially concavo-convex form and is providedwith air intake openings 6. The cover comprises the main member 7 and asegmental member 8 which is hinged to the main member as at 9 so that itcan be opened and closed from one side of the body without the necessityof removing the entire cover. On the upper side of the cover at thecenter thereof is a standard 10.

A coffee stirrer 11 is arranged for rotation in the bottom of the bodyand is connected to the depending arm 12 of a crank shaft 13. The crank14 of the crank shaft is horizontal and is arranged below the cover andthe vertical portion of the said shaft is Specification of LettersPatent.

Serial No. 762,099.

mounted in a bearing in the center of the cover and also in a bearing inthe standard 10. The crank handle 15 is attached to the upper end of thecrank shaft and enables the coffee stirrer to be manually rotated, aswill be understood.

Preferably, the coffee roaster is of such size as to enable it to fit ona stove hole after the lid has been removed. In the operation of myimproved coffee roaster the coffee is kept stirred by the stirrer 11.The draft of the stove causes air to be drawn into the roaster throughthe openings 6 and the fumes from the coffee to be drawn off from theroaster through the draft tube 2 and discharged downwardly into the firebox of the stove from which they pass off through the stove pipe and thechimney and, hence, smoke and odor from the cofiee is prevented fromgetting into the room in which the roaster is used.

The stirrer being carried by the cover of the roaster may be readilyremoved from the roaster together with the cover and, hence, access toall part-s of the roaster may be readily attained and the roaster may bereadily kept clean and in a perfectly sanitary condition. My improvedcoffee roaster is extremely cheap and simple, is strong and durable, isefficient in operation and its use enables coffee or the like materialto be roasted without disagreeable smoke and odor.

While I have herein shown and described a preferred form of theinvention, I would have it understood that changes may be made in theform, proportion and construction of the several parts without departingfrom the spirit of the invention and within the scope of the appendedclaim.

I claim The herein described coffee roaster comprising a circular bodyhaving an outer wall and also having a centrally arranged draft tubeopening into the roaster and also open at the bottom thereof, a coverfor the body arranged on the outer wall thereof and provided with airintake openings and also provided with centrally arranged bearings, avertical shaft carried by the cover, mounted in said bearings, having acrank handle at In testimony whereof I affix my signature its upper endand provided wlth a crank at 1n presence of two witnesses.

its lower end, under the cover, and a stirrer T attached to the lowerend of said crank and GEORGE GHAUVII\' arranged to turn on the bottom ofthe body Vitnesses:

around and concentrically with the draft NUMA COMO,
